2. Develop new systems and support legacy systems within the production facility.
3. Review design drawings with other engineering disciplines to ensure proper material and process specifications.
4. Select appropriate materials considering cost, availability, and manufacturability.
5. Develop specifications for metallic materials and coatings, applying principles of chemistry, physics, and material behavior.
6. Perform failure analyses using metallurgical techniques to determine root causes of failures.
7. Support production with root cause investigations, vendor support, and inspections.

Required Education, Experience, & Skills:

• Bachelor's Degree in Material Science, Metallurgical Engineering, or related field with 2+ years of metallurgical/materials testing experience, or equivalent experience.
• Ability to read engineering drawings (e.g., Creo) and use CAD software.
• Knowledge of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office.
• Strong communication skills for report writing and presentations.
• Ability to develop effective customer relationships to solve technical problems.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Relevant experience in heavy industry or military hardware, including forgings, weldments, heat treatments, and fatigue testing.
• Experience in metallographic analysis, failure analysis, hardness testing, SEM, optical microscopy, and mechanical testing.
• Experience in developing material and process specifications and technical reports.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and corrosion mechanisms.

Pay Range: $77,809 - $132,275 annually, based on market data and individual qualifications.

Benefits: Health, dental, vision, 401(k), disability, life insurance, paid time off, holidays, and additional perks.
